Buckeyboy and string slap my answer.

Wild OkieWild Okie Member Posts: 1,280 ✭✭✭✭✭
Ml welcome to the forum. what do you think as such an experienced shooter where is the string slap coming from?


The elbow or wrist is being bent inward. I would try to strengthen the arm with exorcise and pay close attention during the shot at first don't worry about making a perfect shot. Get close to the target and practice form. The other thing could be a type of target panic. In anticipation of the release sometimes you grip the bow causing the wrist to bend inward. Lastly some folks do better with an arm guard. I found though when I'm having problems it is usually bad form. I get 5 yards a shoot paying attention to only my form. And move back a little at a time. It works for me.
Sorry I missed getting back on that one.

    I occasionally hit clothing but usually after too many beers. As for form I try to shoot as I would if I was in the tree stand.
    I think I either need a new string or get'er twisted a couple times.
    Going to try that STS deal too. I have just read way to much good stuff about it. Thanks for the input.[:)]

    In a tree stand it true that you may have to shoot in many weird positions. When you have a good stance and form from a target shooting situation it follows you to the tree stand. Hears one for that I have trouble with shooting with both eyes open. I sight in with one and then open both just before I shoot. One my good days it is a big help on my bad days it throws my shot to the left. My other big problem is bow cant. I have to watch myself every shot it seems. I make my best groupings When I have a stance of legs shoulder width apart. My left foot pointing at the target my right foot at a 90.I take three breaths and release during my third exhale. Slowly squeezing the trigger. Some days I'm both eyes open and some days it just one eye open I really wish I could get that one down.[:o)]Originally posted by bang250

    Arm guards are for archers who are doing something wrong.
    Dont cover up the wrong by putting an arm guard over it...
    Fix what is wrong.
